Wincom Workflow

My current task directly from the object menu

Overview

Workflow is a very powerful part of Windchill that allows the system to be configured to support a wide range of business processes. It is however very complex to manage and requires expertise when creating workflows and the associated logic.

Features

This component adds a number of features to the standard workflow capabilities and also improves the user interface to make it easier for users to manage their workflow tasks.

My current tasks – access tasks related to an object

Standard Robots – to aid basic workflow design

Change Robots – to aid change process design

Notification Extension – email subject and body configuraiton

Task view can show subject number as a custom column

My current tasks

A simple but extremely useful idea; workflow actions are available from the standard menus but often a user is presented with a list of objects that they may need to complete various tasks on. The out-of-the-box is click heavy, so that users need to click multiple times to complete the actions on each object. This extension adds a new menu option that only appears if the user has at least one active task open for the object, and then offers them a wizard to quickly complete the action. It is a popup so the user may quickly access the task for a list of objects without ever leaving the main page.
